Introducing 3.0 Created for and distributed exclusively by NCEE Is your economics curriculum connecting with your technology saturated students? With Thinking Economics, you’ll transform the way you teach high school economics. You’ll use all the elements of a textbook-based curriculum, only you’ll deliver the core economics content in a way your “wired” students can relate to: with interactive, computer-based audio, video and text. Say goodbye to hours of lesson preparation and “chalk-n-talk” delivery that leaves many students bored and others lost. 25 Hours + 76 Computer-Based Modules = Increased Teacher Productivity Designed to take advantage of how high school students learn, the computer-based component uses 4 content CDs that contain 76 interactive lessons organized in 15 chapters that’s over 25 hours of individualized economics instruction for your students. Instead of a one size fits all lecture, you’ll use those 25 hours to reduce your teaching burden, giving you more individualized time with your students. You’ll also have printed materials that include reinforcement activities and simulations, supplemental lesson plans and customizable quiz and test banks. Everything you need to move your economics curriculum to a new level for both you and your students. A Comprehensive Economics Curriculum – Use in your mainstream economics course, challenge your talented and gifted students, or offer it as an alternative program. A True “Leave No Child Behind” Curriculum – By utilizing instructional technology, you can devote more time to the individual instructional needs of your students, instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Accelerate your advanced learners and remediate your slower learners, all with one curriculum. Integrate Throughout Your School – Use Thinking Economics as the cornerstone of your economics curriculum, or infuse it into your school’s curriculum to enrich business, consumer studies, marketing and finance classes. Create Life-long Learners – When you give your students the ability to control their pace of learning – and give them responsibility for outcomes – they are empowered to teach themselves. You’ll become a “life coach” who helps their students explore economics and grow as lifelong learners. Familiar Learning Medium – Your students interact with computers every day, so tap into their natural inclination to use technology as a learning tool. Your new “multi-modal, multi-sensory” approach will reach more students and help them connect with the content. Your Economics Course Will Be the “Must-Take” Class In Your District – Because you’re plugged into an engaging computer-based curriculum – and more students succeed in your class – your students will actually look forward to every class session!
